10 Ways To Get Your Kids To Think About Recycling

0 comments

If your kids don’t know where trash goes or what happens to it, how can you expect them to care about reducing the amount they make?

Kids probably don’t think much about the trash being hauled away by the garbage truck each week. I bet if you asked your kids where it goes, they might say something like, “I dunno, someplace else.”

Well, someplace else is a landfill, probably, where most - if not all - of it will still be sitting around when they have kids.

6 Ways To Teach Your Kids About Conservation

2 comments

Riding bikes, nature hikes and outdoor picnics are all opportunities to teach about conservation and have a little fun.

Help the underprivileged Kids

I wish to have a clean and green world. Want to make this world a better place to live in. Not just the clean air and water but the society as a whole.  Help the underprivileged children in education and what soever means possible. Because children are our future. To have a better tomorrow we have to make our present better. Dont wait for others to come forward, take initiative and as its true that someone has to come front. So why not you and me.

This morning, I wake groggy at 4 AM after a late night of work, and a restless sleep. Fearing my dog, who was gasping for breath all night, has finally succumbed to the lung cancer that he’s suffered from for 10 months. My husband away on business. What would I tell the kids who love him like a big brother? How would I get his 70 pound body down the stairs? Is the ground too frozen for burial? Afraid to look I'm relieved to find his soul still embodied, his heart still beating, his tail still wagging to my touch.

Lone adult "on" this AM, I race through the morning rituals.
